BASIC CLEANSING

December 30, 2011

The most important thing of basic skin care is cleansing. Here I give you some facts about cleansing. I'm not saying that I'm right and you're wrong, but we always learn, don't we? :)

When I say basic, it means something that you do regularly, and also really easy to do. First thing before you try to buy a cleanser is you need to know what is your skin type, is it dry, oily, normal, combination or sensitive. You need to find a good cleanser that suits your skin.

You may find that some products don't suit your skin even though you use cleanser for your skin type. Well, actually that's normal, maybe your skin cannot respond well to some of the ingredients for that cleanser. So if you have found a good cleanser, try to stick to it, you don't have to try other brands, except you try to buy a better cleanser.

Don't ever use bar soaps, they're for body, not for your face, even your neck. Your face and neck skin area are more sensitive than your body. If you try to use bar soaps for your face, it will make your face dry.

If you're an oily skin type, use gel cleanser, and if you're dry skin type, use cream cleanser. And don't wash your face too often, two times a day is enough, in the morning and at night. Make sure you have removed all of your make up with proper make up remover before you clean your face.

And don't use cold or hot water to wash or rinse your face, using cold or hot water can cause broken capillaries. I like to use warm water first, use the cleanser then rinse my face with cool water.

There are many things you can do to cleanse your face, but this is the basic one.
